In one of the old pine trees in the wood here, peppered with wood pecker holes the same hole about 20 foot up has for the last 3 years that I've noticed been home to bees, this morning looking up as I walked passed the comb is growing outside the hole and the bees are busy adding to. At present it's about a third the size of a football.

Last year it reached half the size of a football then just disappeared I looked around the base of the tree it's next to the path but no sign of it, would squirrels or crow family birds have knocked it down to get to the grubs/honey? but as said not even a piece of the comb to be seen on the floorian
